Abstract: A photovoltaic module comprises at least one photovoltaic cell and one concentration optic device, to be illuminated by a light flux emitting at at least one illumination wavelength belonging to a band of wavelengths defined by a minimum wavelength and a maximum wavelength, the band of wavelengths being that of the solar radiation of the order of [380 nm-1600 nm]. The concentration optic device is a monolithic component and comprises at least one diffractive structure comprising subwavelength patterns, defined in a structured material; the patterns having at least one dimension less than or equal to the average illumination wavelength divided by the refractive index of the structured material; the patterns being separated from one another by subwavelength distances, defined between centres of adjacent patterns; the concentration optic device ensuring at least one focusing function and one diffraction function. A solar panel comprising the photovoltaic module is also provided.

Abstract: A traffic light luminaire includes at least one light source, a collimating device for collimating light emitted by the at least one light source, and a light distribution device for spreading the collimated light within a specific solid angle with a specific luminous intensity distribution. The light source is a high brightness light source, and the light distribution device is a microstructured distributor having a micro-structured surface, wherein each equal-sized macroscopic section of the microstructured distributor contributes to the luminous intensity distribution in the same way within said whole specified solid angle. Thereby a low maintenance traffic light luminaire is provided which generates a homogeneous light distribution for a variety of trail arrangements (right curve, left curve, straight line) independent of the distance of the viewer.

Abstract: A wideband diffractive component diffracting an incident beam exhibiting a wavelength in a diffraction spectral band is provided. The diffractive component elementary areas are arranged on a surface, each area belonging to a type indexed by an index i lying between 1 and n, with n greater than 1, corresponding to blaze wavelength λi of index i, the blaze wavelengths lying in the diffraction spectral band. An elementary area of type i includes microstructures sized less than 1.5 times the blaze wavelength of index i, arranged to form an artificial material exhibiting an effective index variation where an elementary area of type i constitutes a blazed diffractive element at the blaze wavelength λi of index i, the different values of the blaze wavelengths and the proportion of surface area occupied by the areas of a given type a function of a global diffraction efficiency desired in the diffraction spectral band.
